‍Paris, 16th June 2021 - The American Group Amazon has signed a partnership with green last-mile logistics provider and B Corporation, Urb-it to deliver products from its new logistics facilities in Paris. Both parties, will utilize Amazon's urban hubs to offer Parisian consumers a flexible and ethical delivery solution, whilst improving soft urban mobility in the city.

In April 2020, Amazon won a competitive tender launched by Parisian transportation company, the RATP to set up mini-logistics hubs in 3 of the 17 bus depots in the Ile de France region. The RATP's aim was to make several warehouses available where buses are parked at night but lay inactive during the daytime when they are out on the road. This would then enable last-mile delivery providers to bring products to the hubs early in the morning, as soon as the buses are in service, and use them to deliver parcels throughout the day to end consumers via a 100% green last-mile delivery solution.

Amazon was selected partly for its know-how, but also for the "environmental quality" of its sustainable operations. The French subsidiary of the e-commerce giant is increasingly committed to building a sustainable business for its customers and the planet, with the aim of reducing its carbon footprint, as demonstrated by Amazon's "Climate Pledge" program. By partnering with Urb-it to deliver its parcels in the Paris region, Amazon is strengthening its commitments toward reaching its goal of net-zero carbon by 2040.

“In order to carry out this mini logistics hub and dispatch project, we wanted to select last-mile delivery companies with real expertise and who share our ethical values. Urb-it allows us to reinforce our environmental commitment but also to develop urban delivery in soft mobility, thus lowering the usage rate of polluting vehicles." said Charles Davous, Senior Program Manager / Amazon Logistics

Martin Lehec, Urb-it Country Manager France commented ,“We are very proud to assist Amazon in this project and help them reinforce their ecological commitments. This partnership with the RATP also aligns closely with our mission to transform logistics with a human service that fights for the health of our cities."
